Recently I visited a heating system in the Danish city of Svendborg. A new double gas boiler should in future keep city residents warm - and it happens to a plant which promises more than 100 percent efficiency.

“We have an efficiency of currently more than 100 percent. It sounds crazy, but it is actually possible, when we simultaneously make use the heat from the collected fluid, which is a byproduct of flaring, “said Ove Andersen, who is head of Svendborg plant. He points out that the extensive surveillance of the facility has made it easy to fine tune production, according to what is most effective. For example, it appears that the best answer is to have two boilers running at partial strength, rather than to have one boiler running at full strength. Such observations are used to get the maximum out of the facility both economically and environmentally.
The advanced mechanics and monitoring of the new plant has been developed and delivered by Weishaupt and Lemvigh-Müller.
